MFW we’re 24 hours in and we’re almost at 20% funded. Thank you so much to everyone who’s sharing the project. Its amazing to see <3 Still plenty of earlybird rewards to be had as well! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ale... #indiecomics #kickstarter #comicsart #scificomics

Comic book artist search post: Looking for a Black British artist, preferably from the West Midlands (not essential but would be a big plus), who has a naturalistic style and comfortable with slice of life drama/comedy. If they're familiar with the 1980s and 90s, that's a big plus, too.

I’ve mostly been sharing art from PuddleJumpers because I love what Vicky’s done so much. But I figured today I’d write a lil thread about my ambitions for PuddleJumpers as a series. What it means to me, & the kinds of writing I’ve been inspired by. (Have some of @crowwkui.bsky.social's art too) /13

Flawless Instagram posting by me today.

Finished up the first set of trading card style Art Cards I'm going to make. Set one has a horror theme! Thread 1/6 #skullmonkeyaetcards #artcards #tradingcards

Talking with my partner about how CEO's are running out of LOTR names for their companies and will soon begin to branch out to other famous fantasy books. Announcing: 'Tumnus'. Spyware used by governments to monitor the populace of a given area.

Beautiful work. That 'The Others Page' has old Games Workshop layout vibes but with added colour.

Buildings sit empty. Have done so for years. These are tenants doing good work and paying rent already - WHY would you want to force them out? Who's going to move in and pay more, when there are entire office buildings sitting unused?

Playing with some black and white Rasp… think I might prefer it this way actually. 👇

I have some time in my schedule right now if you need an editor for your comic, short story, or novel. www.katiewestedits.com

“Just a couple of notes.”

Good news like busses this week.

I re-edited this video to show all the hesitations and ‘uhhhhh moments’ between the pen on paper moments. I find this stuff more interesting than the actual drawing bits now.

I, for one, do not care for all these American acronyms popping up over here like HBO and SNL. America should pick up one of our acronyms, like NHS.

If you like making stuff in any form, but particularly miniatures and models, I'd really encourage you to check out this channel before it's gone: www.youtube.com/@trentholbrook It's honestly been a massive source of daily joy for me and it sounds like he's winding it up, so don't miss out!

Hi I wrote about this whole business of Epic Games apparently not making enough from its $5bn a year mega hit Fortnite to keep staff safe from redundancy www.theguardian.com/games/2026/m...

why not give her an equally unamused partner

Hey hey hey, you should do this, you should super do this. This saved me like 5k in taxes.

📢 THE 404 INK BURSARY FOR UK-BASED SMALL PRESSES NOW OPEN Applications are now open for our bursary to support small presses in the UK. There are 2 strands you can apply for: donating £1,000 towards creative projects, or £500 towards hosting an intern. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Hugely important restock notice. Get them while they're long.

Sweet is now 2, and it feels like we're just getting started. Here's how's it's going. 🧵 (let's call this our bloviated state of the union)

I came up with a stupid name for a dive bar and @crowwkui.bsky.social turned it into something incredible. That bar sign is 100% going on a sticker for the #kickstarter as well. We go live in less than a week! #indiecomics #comics

Working on a B&W anthology* piece and using what would be the (digital) pencils in my current process as my finals; working with tones, I can be a whole lot looser than I can be working for full color. 1/ *https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rachelordwayart/nothing-is-stranger-than-fiction

1 week left!

Oh heck yes. I totally understand why some fans love their rigorously defined magic systems. And totally get why others love their cosy, low stakes worlds. But personally I really miss fantasy that feels unheimlich and defies explanation, that is wild, that is dangerous. More of that please folks.

A section of Issue 2 calls for us to see some of the PuddleJumper cast when they were younger. Was so excited ot see what @crowwkui.bsky.social came up with for these and she knocked them out of the park (as usual). Can't wait to see them running around. #comics #writing

What's the perfect GIF for your BlueSky persona?

Love seeing process footage like this. Crazy cool to see all the individual parts come together/the space evolve through the work. And the final piece is 👌

Once again gonna plug one of my favorite writer aids: comicbookfx.com (I do sit there and make sounds with my mouth to try and figure it out but this is a great resource, writer friends!)

Solnit Forever

Hey, could still do with one more artist for this. Anyone interested? Please reshare if you know anyone

In case you'd like to see that front cover from @crowwkui.bsky.social in a little more detail: #comics #indiecomics #comicsky

my piece for the Knights of Guinevere show at Gallery Nucleus 💙 can't wait to see more of these guys!

These panels follow soon after. I love the contrast of Melia and Byron's expressions. Lad really does not want to be there.

Working on a bunch of bonus items for the Kickstarter today. Wallpapers, posters, sticker packs, and more! Excited (and nervous) to launch it all at the end of this month.

A little over a week until PuddleJumpers Issue 2 goes live on Kickstarter. I'll be sharing some inks and concept art from Vicky in the run-up. 👀 Get notified when it goes live here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ale...

A crusty bar I drew for the upcoming TTRPG Paramour - An Orbital Blues Adventure ~*

Glasgow pals, if anyone’s Southside today I have a wee stall in the Corona Bar till 4pm ✌️

Here's my advice for running Mythic Bastionland, in the format of a GM-side version of the player oaths. Also clearly a chance to drop some anecdotes from my game.

Hey folks! If you're in the mood for a bit of Scottish sea going sci-fi adventure, you can pre-order The Packet now. (You don't even need to read it, just enjoy Vincent Sammy's outstanding cover art!)
